NEXT AT DOWNEND FOLK CLUB ONLINE: "AN HOUR OR SO WITH HANNAH SANDERS & BEN SAVAGE"

Our lockdown "an hour or so" online series continues this Friday (5th June) as we are joined on our Facebook page by HANNAH SANDERS & BEN SAVAGE, who were such a hit when they appeared at DFC for real back in the Summer of 2018.

Every Friday during lockdown, at 8.00pm on our FACEBOOK page, we're be joined by a different guest for an hour or so. The focus of these events is very much on chat, although each guest will play a few live songs too. You'll are invited to ask questions in the comments, so it will be very interactive... the more people watch and engage, the better it will be for everyone. The events are free, although there is a PayPal donations box, with 100 per cent of the donations going direct to the guest. You can find that at the bottom of the page. We'll be keeping these weekly events going until Friday 17th July, when we'll finish for the Summer with something slightly different! We'll let you know Autumn plans once the situation is a little clearer.

Since emerging in 2016, Hannah and Ben have been defying all conventions of style, genre and compartmentalisation. A touch of ‘Americana’, yet quintessentially English. Traditional, yet contemporary, with their individual writing style. Playful and instinctive, they constantly do the unexpected; yet they do it with such panache and natural chemistry it makes perfect sense. Hannah has an alluring mystique and a voice of disarming purity that massages your senses with gentle ease. Ben is a bubbling ferment of energy, unkempt charm and infectious enthusiasm, seemingly able to play any instrument you put in front of him with grace and favour. They are true originals, that’s all there is to it. Distinctive. Innovative. Ground-breaking. Unique.

We'll be announcing next week's guest at the end of each episode, so do stay tuned until the very end, and get your questions ready in the meantime. You can submit questions in advance by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you'd rather. And make sure that you've "liked" our Facebook page for reminders. See you at 8.00pm on Friday.
